Come Get The Cash returned to the top class at Saratoga Casino Hotel with a winning effort in the $8,500 Fillies & Mares Open on Tuesday (Aug. 18).
Leading driver Billy Dobson picked up the catch-drive behind the now Brandy Wine-trained distaffer on Tuesday and the gutsy grinder toughed out a first-over victory in 1:55.3. Longshot Surreal Feeling got the pocket trip in the feature behind Bontz N before coming on to finish second.
Come Get The Cash paid $12.80 to win in the mild upset and led an exacta with longshot Surreal Feeling second that returned $130.50. Bontz N earned the show spot to complete a $467.50 trifecta.
Come Get The Cash has now won four straight for her owner-trainer Brandy Wine of Vernon, NY. After enjoying a four-win Monday afternoon, Billy Dobson piloted four more winners (along with three second-place finishers) on the Tuesday program.
With no Wednesday evening card this week, live racing will resume next Monday afternoon (Aug. 24) with a first post time set for 12 p.m. (EDT).
